Which was a predictable waste of time..

And how are you so sure about that ?
You are the one that insulted me and said I was a few sandwiches short and that you felt guilty helping me, so as I said why bother if you are going to insult me? It looks to me like you don't see your part in all of this.

Good luck don't be bounded from pillar to post and I am sure we all look forward to the adventures of Few Kit Bound Koala Jumper

Thanks darling! Nice pics above.

But how f*cking sad is this. Not even enough tucked away for a ticket and a few months rent. Jesus.

on the contrary the international schools will pay it up front or book it for her, in this market it’s rare to have to claim it. They also pay first week or two of accommodation and settle in allowance or rent free loans for house costs, even cars. As Hall said above.

phuketBound was never moving.

I just wanted to let you all know that I did find out I got the job as of today. I just need to figure out if I can afford to go, and if I want to go in January as I have some personal things happening family wise. I also have a ton of questions to ask before I make my decision.

You have found the right place for posers.

Congratulations!

Don't talk yourself out of it, you're nearly there.

Just go and enjoy your life, you can't afford not to go.

Be careful when booking flights, some Brits bought cheap tickets UK to Sydney to find it was Sydney Nova Scotia.

Koala Humper is very different place. You may find flights via Manila or Bangkok will be cheaper if you are paying up front. I would ask the school to book removes the stress and cost and I expect they will send a stench limo and a local to meat and grunt at the airport.

Remember you seldom get a second chance to make that vital first impression, the timeless elegance of a woolen twin set and pearls is my advice for a stinguised Professor.
The clammy Klang valley humidity will yield those rosy cheeks and nose piercings to advantage, If you wish to to reveal the navel adornments and tatts up to you I would eschew all such treats as a debutante, save em for a first date with Mustafa Peak.



if you prefer something less fusty a pretty dress in gingham , pigtails and white sox al ways went down well with the Hatler youth while a pork fridge magnet ear rings will swiftly signal you are not ready for "submission" unless oiled.



For first day at school be conservative not yourusual see through topless catsuits it may make you popular stick to rural Bavaria, a serving of ale and we all like a bit of pork sausage

This s OK


This could be a bit much for day one.



Do clarify the school discipline guidelines as paying parents expect a firm hand and you may need to source your own tool. If you forward a Pissed Office Box I can loan you some from my dungeon until you get settled in.


Be wary of hand written notes reading

See Willy after school behind


We wish you every success and are sure you will bend over backwards to keep us updated

I really appreciate that, Joe. It may be true that I can't afford to go, but I have other things happening here at home that may take precedence. If I don't go, I may go in July next year.

Your choice if you want to jump in. As others have said, even if your finances are a bit low you could always slap it on a credit card. In less than half a year you’ll be back on the right side of the ledger. After six months you should be in a groove with knowing the ends and outs of your school, who are your allies and who to avoid. You should also be settled in to your local area and know where to eat, the best cinemas, and shopping areas.

I’m a bit jealous. I’d love to go live and work in Malaysia.

Best of luck.

Thanks Happy, I'll keep this in mind. I had a two hour convo with one of my best friends last night, and I am not sure yet. There is some red flags with the school, and I don't want to jump into a bad situation either. I'll let you know what happens.

MM, you applied for a job, you got the job. If you back out now there won't be a second chance, well certainly not in my industry, anyway. You should have considered all the ifs and buts before applying.

Don't talk yourself out of it, cold feet are normal, and just go. What's the worst that can happen... you don't like it? If so, stay a year so it doesn't adversely affect your cv and then move on, older, wiser and with an extra year's experience under your belt.

There are a lot of things that you don't know. I was honest with the recruiter when I first spoke with him and told him, that I am not 100% on going in Jan, but I would try to. So, recently my brother has been in the hospital with a drug overdose and he needs support (I am close to him), so I jus spoke with the recruiter on google meet, explained my situation and he said that there may be more positions available in July for me there, but not necessarily in the position I was going into (EAL/Spec Ed). The recruiter also has other schools in Jan/Feb available if I am more interested in applying. The world hasn't come to an end. I may still be able to go in July. July will be better for me anyway. That's life, and that was my decision.

I was serious also about the red flags. The principal was new (only there three months). He had said one thing, the recruiter said other things, so obviously someone is not in the loop.

Also him claiming there will be jobs available halfway through the year is well dodgy.

What kind of teacher are you??

One who is still working supply after nearly a decade back in her home country.

Teaching special needs, with zero effort made to jolly that classroom up at all.

It's really a bit grim.

No, it is not, they do intake in jan and july.

Anyway, I've said enough with twats like Cyrille and a few others with absolutely no sympathy for just telling you personal details about my brother that's pretty sick. I'm done explaining my life.
Why the fuck are you ^ such a twat when you don't know anything. And I'm done talking about my life with twats like you and a few others who think they are better than everyone else. Cy didn't you live in a sandpit for most of your life a hellhole, and not post one picture from there or anything about your life now?? Just bs and ignorance.

I'm done off this shitty no respect, no care forum.
